Great cameraMarch 21, 2010 K. Monds(UT) This is a great little camera! Have taken it on several outings, snowmobiling and skiing. The picture is great, plenty of memory to record the important things through out the day. Hooking up to the computer couldn't be easier. Due to its light weight, a steady hand is necessary. After a day of snowmobiling, I was pretty tired and shaky. It was hard to hold the camera still. But otherwise, a perfect picture. Zoom capabilities are limited. That is the only downside of this product in my opinion. Great purchase, I would definitely recommend if you want something to carry in a pocket or purse to catch memories of the day.
Charging Problems with Simple SolutionMarch 20, 2010 John Q. Public A lot of reviewers mention battery charging problems. I had a similar problem, which I fixed with $0.01 of aluminum foil. The stock battery pack has a single metal contact on the bottom for recharging. The metal does not always provide good contact with the recharging port on the camera due to the plastic sheathing around the battery. Solution: One small 1/4" x 1/4" x 1/32" folded piece of aluminum foil squeezed in between the battery pack and the charging contact. Use this solution at your own risk, but it worked for me. *Do not* let the foil come into contact with both metal contacts as this will short the AA battery terminals and can result in a destroyed flip, usb port, computer, or a fire!!!
Other than battery issue I have not had any other problems with the flip.
Stay way backMarch 19, 2010 Daniel R. Gannon III 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Attention all considering buying the Flip video"thing". I bought one for a trip to Australia. Got five days into the trip, shooting on a cruise ship. It locked up, would not respond to any of the buttons and got too hot to keep in my pocket. Upon return to US I took it to seller. He (Costco, thank God) provided a refund, but since the unit wouldn't take a charge or otherwise respond, my vacation videos are lost. There is no way to get into the unit to get video out, there are no removable video cards, or other portals from which to recover whatever you've recorded. Stay far away.
Flipping Mad Poor Quality ProductMarch 19, 2010 Ace(East Palo Alto, California, US) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I never wrote a review on anything, but I am so mad that this is my first. I got two Flips UltraHD's from Amazon. I received the first Flip on 3/15/2010. This one the battery didn't charge. Amazon's great customer service, I got another one the next day. Well, guess what? It worked day one, and day two it does a hard lock up consistently. The only way to turn it off is to pull out the battery!!!! Absurd. Two bad Flips in the same week. Needless to say, I will be returning my second Flip and getting another camcorder from another company. Looking up Flip on the web, you will find they have tons of issues for their camcorders. Lesson learned, don't buy from name recognition alone. For a product so simple in design to have so many issues is a testament of poor quality control from the company. Instead of the Flip they should have named it the Screwed, cause that's how I feel after buying it.
Great buy for the moneyMarch 19, 2010 Danielle N. Freda(Indiana, USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
